Choosing a position in a room

When installing CRXSLWIFI, a suitable position in the room should be chosen. Ideal installation height is 1.2m – 1.6m. Avoid areas with draught or direct sun. Do not position CRXSLWIFI above or close to the heaters or other heat sources. Damp areas or areas where CRXSLWIFI can be mechanically damaged should also be avoided. As the CRXSLWIFI is measuring room temperature it has to be installed in the same room as heaters.

Mounting the controller

The CRXSLWIFI was designed to fit any standard 2 gang back box with a minimum depth of 32mm. Use the supplied screws to secure controller on the back box. Avoid overtightening

Electrical Connections

Electrical installation should be carried out by a competent installer in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant Local Authority Bye- Laws. The CRXSLWIFI must be permanently connected to the electricity supply via a double pole switch having 3mm gap on each pole. There are no exceptions. A switched Fused Connection unit to BS.1363. Part 4 is a recommended mains supply connection accessory to ensure compliance with safety requirements applicable to fixed-wiring installation.

Heating Not Working

• Check that the power is available to the CRXSLWIFI and heater.
• Check the LCD display isn’t blank and there is a green light on the heater.
• Is CRXSLWIFI paired with the heater?
• Check that the overheating protection on the heater has not operated. Follow the instructions given under the section headed ‘Overheating protection’ .
• Check that the fuse in the fused connection unit has not blown. This fuse can be replaced.
• Should none of the above remedies work, then please telephone the helpline number shown in these instructions. Do not attempt

Basic Operation

The CRXSLWIFI has 5 standard operating modes:

BOOST, MANUAL, FROST PROTECT, AUTO and FAN.

• Each mode can be selected by pressing the MENU button to cycle through the options. The cycle sequence will always start with BOOST mode followed by MANUAL, FAN, FROST PROTECTION and AUTO. The FAN mode is only available if there is no demand for heating. If the CRXSLWIFI shows a heating symbol the FAN mode isn’t available. FAN mode only works with compatible heaters.
• The CRXSLWIFI also has a STANDBY MODE. To enter/exit this mode, press the standby button. In STANDBY MODE, the heating will not be activated and the display will show time and day.
• To adjust the temperature in any heating mode use ‘PLUS’ or ‘MINUS’ buttons.

The CRXSLWIFI has a battery backup which will keep the correct time and allow for the change of hour associated with British Summer Time. The CRXSLWIFI will also remember all time schedules and settings even if the power is interrupted.

Boost Mode

The boost feature increases the room temperature for 15 minutes. To amend the set temperature when in BOOST mode, use the + and – buttons to change the temperature. Once the temperature is set, you can leave the display to return to the main screen and the settings will be saved. After 15 minutes, the CRXSLWIFI will return to the previous operating mode.

Manual Temperature Mode

In MANUAL mode, the heater maintains a chosen set temperature between 4°C and 35°C. To amend the set temperature when in MANUAL mode, use the + and – buttons . Once the temperature is set, you can leave the display to return to the main screen and the settings will be saved. When the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the heating will be deactivated.

Frost Protection Mode

In FROST PROTECT mode, the heater maintains a chosen set temperature between 4°C and 15°C. To amend the set temperature when in FROST PROTECT mode, use the

• and – buttons. Once the temperature is set, you can leave the display to return to the main screen and the settings will be saved.

Auto Control

Mode In this mode, the heater will follow the week’s time/temperature program. The temperature can be temporarily overridden in AUTO mode by using the + and – buttons to set the new temperature. The new set temperature will be then maintained until the next program step.

Fan Mode

The FAN mode is only available if there is no demand for heating. If the CRXSLWIFI shows heating symbol the FAN mode isn’t available. FAN mode only works with compatible heaters.

Heat Symbols

Every time there is a demand for heat, the display will show the heat icon. The symbols shown below are used to represent full heat and half heat. The half heat only works with ‘RX’ heaters. The CRXSLWIFI will set heating to half heat automatically when the room is almost at the required temperature. This will stop temperature overshooting.

Keys Locking

Press and hold the + and – buttons together for 5 seconds. The display will show the symbol. Repeat the step to unlock.

Open Window Detection

Ensuring you don’t waste energy by heating the outside world, the heater is equipped with optional open / closed window detection. The heater recognises sudden drops in temperature when a window or a door is opened and turns the heating off.

When the window is closed, the heater will automatically detect a temperature rise, and switch itself back on. Once enabled in the setup menu, the open window detection is fully automatic and does not require any human intervention to be activated. When open window detection has been triggered, the heat symbol will flash on/off as shown below. The system has been factory set to default time and temperature values. If necessary, all values can be adjusted. When the heating is on, open window detection sensor will automatically switch the heater off when it detects a fall in temperature of 2°C in less than 10 minutes (the temperature can be changed in menu 8 and time in menu 7). If a temperature rise of 2° C in less than 30 seconds is detected, the heater will switch itself back on (the temperature can be changed in menu A and time in menu 9).

Setting The Time and Day

Once the day has been selected, the screen will show 2 numbers. The first number represents the hour of the day (10 would represent the 10am-11am heating period) and the second number represents the temperature. For example, should the display read 10:22, the heater would maintain a temperature of 22°C between 10 am and 11 am. Once the time has passed 11 am, it will move to program 11.

Setup instructions

2. The day will be flashing, this is the select day menu. Navigate between the days Using the + and – buttons.
3. Once the required day is flashing press MENU to select it, this brings you to the setup menu for the selected day.
4. The display will start with program 0 (midnight 1 am). Use the + and – buttons to increase/ decrease the temperature.
5. Once you have set the temperature, use the MENU or STANDBY button to change to the next time period.
6. When you advance/return beyond the program range (Prog 0- 23) the timer will return to the select day menu.

Use these steps to set the temperature for every hour of every day. It is important to set every hour to avoid the heater operating during unwanted hours.

Copy Day Function

If you require the same set of programs throughout the week, a 24 hour timer is available. This will use the same program every day. A 5-day + 2 day timer is also available. This will use the same programs Monday- Friday, and separate programs Saturday and Sunday. These modes are enabled in the setup menu, as explained in the “setup menu” section. When the timer is set in setup menu as 7 day, it is possible to copy a program from one day to another. To do this, follow the steps ;

• Step 2: Press and hold STANDBY for 5 seconds to enter the copy day setting.
• Step 3: Use the MENU button to select the day to copy the programs from. 1= Monday, 2 = Tuesday and so on.
• Step 4: Use the + and – buttons to select the day to copy the programs to.
• Step 5: Press the STANDBY button to copy the programs. The ‘TO’ will flash to confirm the programs have been copied

Local temperature control mode

Local temperature control mode is only compatible with certain heaters. Unlike normal temperature control mode, the temperature measured on the controller does not affect the heater output. Instead, the CRXSLWIFI simply sends the target temperature to the heater. The heater uses this as the set temperature. It uses a local temperature sensor to measure the room temperature at the heater location itself. When the local temperature reaches the set temperature, the heater will switch off. Refer to the section ‘set-up menu’ for information on how to access local temperature control mode.

Manual control mode

Manual control mode allows the heat and fan settings to be selected manually regardless of the room temperature. To operate the manual control mode, activate the display and press the MENU/MODE button. The fan speed can now be set using the + and – buttons. Press the MENU/MODE button again. The heat setting can now be set using the + and – buttons
